The Ministry of Revenue approved the budget within a day.
Tang Youyin handed the note for the silver to Yang Zheng: "Keep this note safe. There's no need to rush to take the silver. You can use this note to buy materials directly, and then settle with the Ministry of Revenue later. This will save some costs."
Yang Zheng was extremely grateful: "I must thank you for your help this time."
Tang Youyin was of average height and plain appearance, seemingly unremarkable, but he was an expert in his duties and well-versed in dealing with people. Smiling at Yang Zheng's words, he said, "No need for formality. We are both old folks of Nanyang County; it's natural to help each other. In the future, if I encounter difficulties, I may need Brother Yang's assistance."
He then lowered his voice and advised: "To deal with the Ministry of Internal Affairs, you should seek out Jiang Yuanwailang. He is a former official from the Ministry of Revenue and easier to deal with than the eunuchs."
